Bridge Deck Deterioration Prediction Using Principal Component Analysis for Feature-Set Modification

Abstract

AbstractBridge deck deterioration remains a major concern for owners because of its direct impact on road safety and usability. Existing deterioration models predict future conditions of the deck by linking deterioration to various factors (or features) ...Practical ApplicationsBridges are known to deteriorate with time and stop functioning at the same capacity level they were originally designed. It is essential to identify features that influence this deterioration to help develop deterioration models ...
